MMF Meter

Purpose

Output the measured magneto-motive force

Library

Magnetic

Description

pict

The MMF Meter measures the magneto-motive force between its two magnetic terminals and provides it as a signal at the output of the component. A positive MMF is measured when the magnetic potential at the terminal marked with a "+" is greater than at the unmarked one. The output signal can be made accessible in Simulink with an Output block or by dragging the component into the dialog box of a Probe block.


Note  The MMF Meter is ideal, i.e. it has an zero internal permeance. Hence, if multiple meters are connected in series the MMF across an individual meter is undefined. This produces a run-time error.
